Indian bowlers blew away Sri Lanka for 50 runs in the final of the Asia Cup 2023 at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Sunday.
Chasing the paltry target, India reached home in 6.1 overs without losing any wickets.
Sri Lanka scored the lowest total in Asia Cup (ODI) history since the record was previously held by Bangladesh, who scored 87 runs against Pakistan in 2000.
The bulk of the damage was done by Indian pacer Mohammad Siraj, who took four wickets in one over.
Siraj ended his historical spell of 6-21 in seven overs and cemented his name in the history books.
Hardik Pandya claimed three wickets, meanwhile Jasprit Bumrah bagged one.
Only two Sri Lankan batters managed to get into double figures, with Dushan Hemantha scoring an unbeaten 13 and Kusal Mendis adding 17.
